ANSWER: traveling [or synonyms such as journeying, moving, or migrating; accept pilgrimage; accept specific methods of travel like flying or camel-riding; accept going to Mecca or hajj until read; accept safar until read] (The first line refers to the Reliance of the Traveller. The article of clothing Muslims are allowed to keep on while performing wudu while traveling are their socks.)
